Zone: 5DOROTHY WYCOFF JAPANESE PIERIS
Pieris japonica 'Dorothy Wycoff' is commonly referred to as Dorothy Wycoff Pieris. It is a hardy broadleaf evergreen shrub that features dark red buds that open to light pink to white fragrant flowers in spring on 3-6 inch long panicles. Flowers are an early nectar source for hummingbirds and other beneficial pollinators. Thick leaves emerge red in spring, turning dark green in summer and later maturing to bronze in winter.
Dorothy Wycoff Pieris is easy to care for and deer resistant. It thrives in filtered sun in rich, evenly moist, well-drained soils.

To help this plant settle in and thrive, we recommend these standard planting practices: Plant in acidic, fertile, well-draining soil, selecting a location that provides partial shade to filtered light to protect the foliage from harsh afternoon sun and drying winds. These shrubs require consistent moisture to remain healthy, especially during the first growing season until the root system is well established. Prune immediately after the flowering period concludes if you need to manage size or remove older stems, which helps maintain a neat shape. Apply a layer of organic mulch around the root zone to conserve moisture and regulate soil temperature, taking care to keep the material a few inches away from the crown to prevent stem rot.
